I have requested that the new British language (Celtic) article be merged into the Welsh language article. Contribute at Talk:Welsh language. -- Mais oui! 11:03, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
I think we should avoid putting up languages that are already FAs here since they've already received plenty of attention. We should focus on articles on languages that are good, but haven't been properly peer reviewed and that could use a general upping of quality. And that would include both major languages like Spanish, smaller ones like Albanian or even extinct languages like Norn. Peter Isotalo 14:30, 25 March 2006 (UTC) how about a question of the month because i have a question. why does wikepedia allow people to edit things? what if i need information that is accurate, how am i supposed to know if someone really knows what they are talking about whe they edit something. i think this is kind of stupid
Um....is anyone really updating this portal anymore? I picked a featured pic and article for the month about halfway through August, which is somewhat embarassing. From now on, if I see no nominees for any of the sections of this portal I'll just find one. The ikiroid ( talk· desk· Advise me) 19:18, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Although I can't help regularly, I made a few suggestions for the section "Did you know?" at
Portal:Language/Did you know/Nominate. If you agree, I can update that part of the portal. Ι have created and I am looking after the
Portal:Language of the greek wikipedia (under the username "Valentin"). It is a good idea to try to find someone to help regularly with this portal at

Wikiversity is a new Wikimedia sister project. Wikiversity is establishing versions in several languages and is going to be holding multi-language discussions in order to develop policies. Wikiversity needs participants who can translate documents from one language into another language. Thanks for your help! -- JWSchmidt 22:57, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

How's this? I have a globe surrounded by the word "language" in various languages. It's actually bigger, I shrunk it in order to fit here. The ikiroid ( talk· desk· Advise me) 14:31, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Please, can any expert visit Talk:Lutescan_language? I think it is a fake, but I'm not sure -- 83.44.190.62 14:27, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Unter ==External links==, ===Live Streams (no musik)=== or similar we should try to add at least one link to a radio station broadcasting news and other cultural program spoken in that particular language, NO MUSIK. I personally would love to listen to a navajo/kisuaheli/korean/basque/etc. radio station for 5 minutes, it is not enough to just read about it! I want to actually hear it. Please NO MUSIK, I want pure spoken language. Opinions? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.56.179.164 ( talk) 13:12, 10 April 2007 (UTC).
I see here in Wikipedia that the polish variety silesian is called as a language. For all I know in Slavists never called it an language, it is just called a polish variety. Do anyone knows more about it? And also the article Silesians is to my knowledge wrong. It is true that some people declared themselfs as slilesians but it is a novelty in history. Ethnologists think the fact of the matter is because many poeple in Poland don't want call themselfs a Pole (perhaps because they are of another background than polish) or they are cosmopolitan thinkers or anti-patriots. There is a group of people who publicize a silesian ethnic group, too. But it is a small group and it don't reflact the verity.Sorry for my bad english-- Plk ( talk) 16:56, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
is there any section can help of improving english language and speeling , i would like to improve it. thanks ( Tpolo2008 ( talk) 06:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)).
In article Royal Thai General System of Transcription there is a table "Criticism". The Thai letter จ is described as a "alveo-palatal affricate" (see: Voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate) with the IPA image of [ tɕ ]. As far as I understand that letter it is rather a Voiced postalveolar affricate with / ʤ / in IPA or maybe even a / dʑ /. Is this just a mistake of the IPA representation in "Royal Thai General System of Transcription" or do I have a thorough misunderstanding of the Thai language?
Is there somebody who can enlighten me? -- hdamm ( talk) 15:04, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Dear all, it is my first message in a talk page, so, any advice is welcome. We have developed a multilingual transliteration tool that enables its user to type in 37 alphabetic languages. To be short. Besides not Latin based scripts (Russian, Arabic, Greek etc.) every Latin based scripts has its special characters. Here are only small part of them: ä, à, á, â, ă, æ, å, ą, ā, ã, ạ, ằ All this special characters are essential for their languages, but normally are not available for those traveling without laptop. The tool is here: http://ok-boatd.com It is free to use. The mentioning under External Links of your articles is welcome. Any advice or help are awaited. Thanks a lot.
Sincerely,

Hello! This isn't so important, but I ran into a page on the Iban language today that's marked as a Stub but I feel is at least a Start if not class C. Is there some mechanism for changing a rating?
Note that I have no dog in this fight other than having today made a few edits to the Englihs and added a few more correspondences to Malay - in fact, I never heard of this language before an hour ago. :-D
Thanks in advance!

Lebanese Arabic is in need of attention. It lacks sources making it impossible to verify the information, and this article was tagged from April 2007 meaning it could go for deletion. Also the length and the material are just disappointing for what should be an interesting article. Please make this article a priority. thanks -- Falastine fee Qalby ( talk) 21:36, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
Would you correct the errors in the article Extremaduran language, In my opinion that article has many unnecesaries citations needed. -- El estremeñu ( talk) 20:24, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

what is the term for Act of destroying other language & merger it by using only english — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wananases ( talk • contribs) 10:52, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
Added the ISO search box. Looks like PotatoBot might run again soon to update these to 2013. Of the 8,000 codes from last year, only 200 don't yet have an appropriate article. — kwami ( talk) 22:05, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
The introductory section says i.a.:
I think it would be very helpful to have some sort of indication (perhaps through a link) to what the "properties from which there are no known deviations" are or may be. I would also like to know in what ways (as a fluent speaker of it, I can't think of any) Esperanto is not restricted to the properties shared by natural human languages"... Lumping Esperanto (or even Klingon) in with programming languages and mathematical "formalisms", in contradistinction to "natural human" languages, strikes me as very NPOV. -- Haruo ( talk) 15:54, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, that was really really bad. I rewrote it, trying to keep as much of the original as possible while providing better links and deleting nonsense like the stuff Haruo pointed out. — kwami ( talk) 22:25, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
i think that there are some technical issues: i tried editing the "language of the month" section and it just won't work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gelophile ( talk • contribs) 12:40, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
Would anyone mind if I re-arranged these old monthly sub-pages into numbered subpages to be displayed via {{ Random portal component}}}? Then the portal could be left to run itself. -- John of Reading ( talk) 16:33, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
